CV-18 Fujian/003 CATOBAR carrier thread

According to Blitzo, it's where the icebreaker, Xuelong 2, is currently being fitted; next to that large COSCO container ship. There should be enough modules built for assembly by the time Xuelong2 is commissioned in 2019.

Yes I know. However, Sczepan was wondering where the dry dock was. I was showing him where Bltizo believed it would be. What you indicated is where smaller modules would be assembled into larger ones which would then be relocated to the dry dock.

That is the current fabrication area for modules, but I believe the drydock where 003 modules will be assembled will be drydock 4

but there is no way to transport those big Moduls from the fabrication area to the drydock at the other side of the yard.

That's exactly the $$$$ question.

For now.

I expect a route will be made to the river in due time.

I mean it's either that, or they are building modules for a warship in a location that won't ever e.be able to get launched, i.e.: that they are complete super impressive imbeciles.

Any chance China will delay launching these new carriers until the current wave of anti-China sentiments blow over?

There is literally no point in allowing foreign popular sentiment to dictate ship commissioning schedules. The "current wave" could last for many years, even decades. You going to wait that long?
